Re: RE: [GZG] Thrusting in the Cherryverse



All of Weber's books or just his Honorverse stuff?  I thought his Bolo novels were excellent.
Armageddon Reef is pretty good also.

You know, with the size and quantity of missiles going steadily
skywards in the Honor Harrington universe, you have to wonder if
there's not some deep-seated psychological issue being addressed
there.

But then, Weber's books have been sliding downwards in quality to the
point that I can't be bothered to read them anymore.  It's sad.
